Join Zoe for hot glass!

WHAT: We’ll be exploring the exciting possibilities of hot glass ‘flame-working’ or "‘torch-working’, in these upcoming brand new short courses! Over the 3 sessions, you will produce a selection of patterned beads, using both Transparent and Opal glass.

Week 1
-Selecting 2 colour ways, pull your own stringer from rods.
-Create a set of mandrels in a variety of thicknesses, ready to use in the following week. These are the rods you will melt the glass around, and the thinner the rod- the smaller the hole is in the bead.
-Practice hand-eye coordination, using both hands and both sides of your brain! (see Jackie in the photo practicing that skill)

Week 2
- Produce upto 10 transparent beads; a mixture of plain, marbled and patterned styles. These will be left to anneal, and ready to construct the following week.

Week 3
- Produce upto 10 opal beads; a mixture of plain, marbled and patterned styles. These will be left to anneal, and ready to collect the following week.
